Authorities are hunting the escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante
Authorities in Pennsylvania defended their strategy in hunting an escaped murderer
In a recent article published by Morgantown.com, authorities in Pennsylvania who have been trying to capture an escaped murderer for nearly two weeks pushed back Monday against questions about whether they blew a chance to collar him, instead blaming the complex terrain in the initial search area for the fugitive’s success in getting clear of it.
Pennsylvania state police and federal officials insisted that the blown perimeter around the area where hundreds had been searching for Danelo Souza Cavalcante includes heavy woods, underground tunnels and drainage ditches. Pennsylvania state police added it took more than two hours for news to reach them that he had been spotted outside of the perimeter.
Pennsylvania state police rejected the statement that they haven’t been using enough searchers and insisted that the effort in its 12th day favors them. Despite the fact that the Pennsylvania state police can no longer provide well-defined perimeter or any fresh sightings of the escaped murderer.

Pennsylvania State Police, Lt. Col. George Bivens declined to say how he thinks Cavalcante escaped through the perimeter. Pennsylvania State Police, Lt. Col.Bivens said no perimeter is completely secure. Cavalcante is desperate because he is reaching out for help from people with whom he hasn’t spoken in years, he added.
According to the Pennsylvania state police report, Cavalcante, 34, has eluded capture since Aug. 31, when he broke out of the Chester County Prison while awaiting transfer to a different lockup. He had been sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing an ex-girlfriend in 2021, allegedly to stop her from telling Pennsylvania state police that he’s wanted for murder in his home country of Brazil.
Pennsylvania State Police, Lt. Col. Bivens said he doesn’t know if Cavalcante is armed, but is considered extremely dangerous. Bivens added that the Pennsylvania state police are authorized to use deadly force if Cavalcante isn’t actively surrendering. Other agencies involved in the search may have their own rules, he noted.
